Minoso Gets Assist From Veeck

POMPANO BEACH, FLA. — Minnie Minoso`s dream of playing professional baseball in an

unprecedented sixth decade apparently will come true, but not with the White Sox, the team that employs him as a community relations representative.

Would you believe the Class A Florida State League`s Miracle of Pompano Beach?

With an eye for promotions much like his father, the late Bill Veeck, Miracle President Mike Veeck is arranging for Minoso to play for his club April 13 against the Ft. Lauderdale Yankees.

``I think we`ve reached an accord with the White Sox,`` Veeck said.

Dan Fabian, manager of community relations for the White Sox, said,

``It looks very good`` for Minoso to play for the Miracle. But he doubted that Commissioner Fay Vincent would change his decision of last year that the White Sox couldn`t activate Minoso for a regular-season major-league game.
